LEGO versions of famous artworks

Peter Laven, an artist from Texas, recreated famous paintings like Leonardo da Vinci's The Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch's The Scream, Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, and the iconic Japanese artwork The Great Wave using only LEGO bricks. The perfect mixture of colors used by Laven, who uses the pseudonym Morphy, makes these well known masterpieces easily recognizable.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

This McDonald's Halloween campaign is both fright and delight

McDonald's always makes clever Halloween ads. This year is no exception, with DDB Finland rolling out this "Trick or Cheese" campaign that appeals to everyone. Now this is something good to eat. Thanks to Leslie, who has a master's degree in fast food.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
